....... because it must have been difficult voting behind that bear skin attached to the tree and all..... Did a little votin' today - I never vote straight anything - I like to mix it all up and make my own cup o tea out of the whole mess. I vote - because women didn't get to for a long time - and I get to every time - so to honor those that didn't get chance - I vote. I don't like the 'early voting' - I mean - what's the fun in that? I love the crisp November air waking up your responsibility gene... and then remembering that you need to return the movie to the library that is over due.... and you look for some new ones.... and then - oh ya - I'm here to VOTE!! I avoid with all my might - those pollsters standing right in front of the doors - in my way - and NO I don't have an opinion - I HAVE A VOTE TO CAST - so move aside. Inside - I get my sticker first - I haven't voted yet - and I could just run out the door with my sticker... like those little old ladies would chase me down. Loved writing my name upside down on the register. Loved having my name announced like I was royalty, but actually hearing it said wrong made me double check to see if I brought the correct fake ID... you know the one... where is actually says that I weigh a certain amount, but I really don't. I look at the names on the list... in my mind I'm hearing the debates, the mud slinging, the mud slinging, and the mud slinging. I don't vote for either one of those people.... I don't like ANY of the judges - so I voted NO for all of them - it's just a popularity vote anyway, they all look the same in those robes so it doesn't matter to me who's wearing them. I voted for one person because a little old lady said I should, and since she's been around a lot longer than I have - I gave that vote to her. I did think that I wanted a change - but then again - I remember the LAST person that said we would have a change, and he won, and the only thing that's changed is where he lives now, while other people are losing their homes and also living somewhere else. So, I voted - I wanted the sticker because at the 'SWEET TOOTH FAIRY' cupcake store if you brought in your sticker... they gave you a free cupcake. On the way home from my bike ride tonight I passed a cop on a motorcycle with his radar up.... I stopped and asked him if he was trying to catch those people that didn't vote.... He actually smiled and said yes..... and I said, "and if they didn't do you pull out the other gun? and he actually laughed again..... I love popo's. I'm really excited that I cast my vote BEFORE my bike ride because I passed the 9 million (it's voting season I can exaggerate if I want) 'VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE MY OPPONENT IS A CRIMINAL! Had I known, I may have been swayed to vote for this sign, pounded in between the row of signs.... "CALL ME I'LL PUT YOUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UP!" Hey - seriously - it's all location location location..... So - I love voting - tonight I'm also voting that Bristol Palin gets kicked off of Dancing with the Stars. I think everyone I voted for today will win because - my vote counts right? I can't hear you? Today I'm thankful for the opportunity to vote, and to bring home that coveted sticker to add with the other one I have that simple states: "Don't blame me I didn't vote for Obama". Voting - it's a good thing. PS.... my ballot was incomplete - I couldn't find Spock on it anywhere.... If you haven't already voted - duh - the poles are now closed..... are you still in the Library looking for movies? BAZINGA!

Oh, Nic, you are the best!!! I had coffee-out-the-nose this morning when I read about your comments to the policeman. Where do you come up with these? Oh wait, I know.... Anyway, I voted by mail - I can't stand in those long lines anymore - and it worked for me. I even had a bit of mud on my ballot! Seems you and I voted about the same. Anyway, thank goodness we have the right to vote. Just think how different things would have turned out a hundred plus years ago if women had had the vote....loff you!
You are quite the funny one. I voted too. I like to pretend that my vote counted. I got it in the mail at about 3 pm, so I am SURE that it was one of the ones that were counted when they were announcing results. I am just soooooo gratefull that I have not had to watch any more political adds. Then again, I didn't watch much tv with your grand-kidos here, other than the canadian station for their childrens programming. I guess there weren't any political adds on that station, now that I think of it.
